Marathon Winners On Top Of The World

Описание: (2 Nov 2015) The winners in all four top categories of the New York City marathon visited the top of One World Trade Center in lower Manhattan Monday.
Stanley Biwott, men's winner; Mary Keitany, women's winner; women's wheelchair winner Tatyana McFadden; and men's wheelchair winner Ernst van Dyk all posed for photos atop the building a day after winning.
Tatyana McFadden shattered the women's wheelchair course record to sweep four major marathons for the third straight year. The 26-year-old American finished in 1:43:04 to again complete the Grand Slam of winning in London, Boston, Chicago and New York, extending her record streak.
Ernst Van Dyk of South Africa won his second NYC Marathon title and first since 2005 in the men's wheelchair race.
Mary Keitany became the first woman to repeat in New York since world-record holder Paula Radcliffe in 2008. The 33-year-old Kenyan's margin of victory of 67 seconds was also the largest since Radcliffe that year.
Stanley Biwott won his first major marathon title to complete the Kenyan sweep. He finished second in London last year and had been upping his mileage in training to ensure he didn't fade over the final stages of races as he had in the past.
An unofficial total of 50,229 entrants started the 45th running of the NYC Marathon.
